Though stepping down from Capitol Hill, she’s not retiring from public service, launching nationwide tours to promote her “5,000 Role Models for Excellence” program empowering minority youth. Her recent absence due to eye surgery cost Democrats a key vote on Trump’s Iran war powers, leaving it tied. Wilson, who gained national attention after Trayvon Martin’s death, now faces a reshaped political landscape as Florida’s new congressional map consolidates her district into fewer seats. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries praised her as an “unyielding champion of our children” and “voice for the voiceless,” honoring her decade-long advocacy for youth, economic growth, and working families.
